umm, sort of.
I was just thinking about how when I was looking for a therapist during my separation from my now exH, a friend of mine accused me of wanting a therapist who would just agree with me. So I asked her, would it be better to select a therapist on the basis that they disagree with me.
I think about this from time to time as I have been caught up in relationships with passive agressives like my ExH and my mother....so there's no hiding there.
I find it interesting when I look back on certain issues /incidents and now feel that the disagreement was fabricated. If I had said the exact opposite, they still would have disagreed with me.
I know it's bad idea to surround myself with "yes people" but it seems equally bad to do so with "no people."
How do you find the middle ground?
